Nakamoto has postponed a 60 million USDT▲$0.9992 payment on Kraken-linked debt until 2027, according to The Defiant’s November 13, 2026 account. The Nakamoto debt extension gives the Bitcoin (BTC▼$69,284.00) borrower more time to repay, but its collateral requirements still permit earlier liquidation.

The company also gained credit for protective derivatives. Together, those changes offer repayment relief while leaving the pledged Bitcoin exposed to enforcement before the new payment date.

Nakamoto Moves Its 60 Million USDT Payment Into 2027

What Has Changed in the Payment Schedule?

The deferred obligation is denominated in USDT: 60 million tokens are now due in 2027. The widely used $60 million description is dollar shorthand for that stablecoin payment.

The extension moves a scheduled cash demand further out. Nakamoto can approach that obligation over a longer period, rather than meeting the previously described December deadline, while the outstanding payment remains part of its debt burden.

What Else Did Nakamoto Gain?

The amendment also gives Nakamoto credit for protective derivatives, alongside the revised payment schedule. That provision matters because the borrowing is supported by Bitcoin collateral whose value has fallen.
